I really like Dino Esposito's writing style...anyway, he's come up with a brilliant article on the [most efficient ways to use Session state from ASP.NET](http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/?pull=/library/en-us/dnaspp/html/aspnetsessionstate.asp?frame=true)- this is just about the best examination of the subject that I've seen and is now one of my 'must reads' for any developer starting out with ASP.NET...

Anyone found a really good article on ASP.NET page lifecycle events yet...I've yet to track one down - and I do think that is the number one most important thing for developers to get a grip of when writing ASP.NET applications - it can really bite you in the ass if you get it wrong! 
Dino also wrote [this one](http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/?pull=/library/en-us/dnaspp/html/aspnet-pageobjectmodel.asp) which is pretty good at covering the basics of the lifecycle and is certainly a good primer...I don't know what I want to read, just more detail, maybe examples of what can go wrong, when things are available in the lifecycle etc...tricky one...that's why I'm a crap writer I guess..but I knows what I likes :-)
